Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 447

447. Plundered the Demon God’s Warehouse

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ expresses displeasure as its connection with you is suddenly severed.

– The Constellation, ‘The Serpent Envy Surrounds,’ recognizes the scent of nature emanating from you.

– The Constellation, ‘Sleeping Mountain Goat,’ is impressed by the even grander scale, not expecting you to involve the spirits as well.

The first thing I saw was the message from the Demon Gods.

It seemed that the connection with the Constellations had been severed due to the meeting in the dimensional gap, but only Belphegor seemed to have grasped what Se-un had done.

She was aware of almost everything happening in the Tower through her sleep, but to react so immediately to events in the dimensional gap…

Her ability to acquire information was truly admirable.

“Such a strong scent of spirits… So, you were indeed called by the Spirit King.”

As soon as I dismissed the message, the Guardian Tree came into view.

Perhaps because of the Outer’s attack, he was sticking close to the World Tree’s sprout, holding his greatbow and nocking an arrow, ready for any surprise attack.

Soon after, Riel belatedly appeared next to Se-un.

“Ah…”

Traces of iridescent light still lingered in her hands.

The contract with the Spirit King not only grants the qualification to summon the Spirit King but also enhances the power of the Spiritmancer itself.

She was probably adapting to the vast power she was feeling for the first time after contracting with the four Spirit Kings.

“Amazing, a contract with the Spirit King…”

The Guardian Tree also sensed Riel’s power and couldn’t help but be impressed.

Shortly after, Riel completely absorbed the iridescent light, and her four spirits appeared beside her.

– Riel!

– Wow, I didn’t expect Mom to come out herself.

– Our dad too. He’s famous for being stubborn.

– Me too!

“Huh… uh?”

However, the appearance of the spirits beside her was completely different from before. They were powerful, but they had maintained the form of lower spirits, but now…

– Huh? You got wings!

– Wow! It’s real!

– What’s this? You suddenly became a dog?

– Good dragon!

They had completely shed the forms of the little spirits I had seen before.

The water spirit had the form of a mature wolf, and the fire spirit looked like a small dragon.

The wind spirit resembled a magnificent eagle, and the earth spirit had sharp claws like a mole.

With the contract with the Spirit King, all four spirits who had contracted with her had been promoted.

“Congratulations. Last descendant of the Elves.”

“Thank you…”

– Wow, congratulations!

– Me too, congratulations!

– I got a tail!

– Oh, oh!

Her spirits had already shown strong appearances unlike other lower spirits, but now they had been promoted several ranks at once.

Even if she couldn’t summon the Spirit King right away, her power would surely surpass any Spiritmancer Se-un had ever seen.

Well, unlike other spirits, her spirits seemed to have the same personality even after their ranks increased.

I don’t know how strong their powers have become, but if they cause an accident with that power and personality, just thinking about it makes me dizzy.

Perhaps, for the time being, she should focus on understanding and controlling the spirits’ powers.

“Guys, wait a moment…”

– So amazing!

– Wow, look at this! I can fly like this!

– Roar!

– Wow, it’s really like a dragon!

As expected, her spirits began to cause trouble.

They were marveling at their newly changed appearances and newly acquired powers, using them recklessly.

As Riel hurriedly tried to stop the spirits in a panic, a new anomaly began in the World Tree.

Whoosh!

Iridescent light rippled around the World Tree, just like when it had drawn Se-un and Riel in.

Then, a familiar energy flowed out, and dozens of spirits appeared from within.

– Wow!

– It’s outside!

– Amazing!

– Thump-thump!

– Look at the sky, it’s so blue!

Lower spirits who should have been in the Spirit Realm.

As per the contract the Spirit Kings had made with Riel, they were sending lower spirits here first to manage the flower garden.

However, they were all like children, befitting their status as lower spirits.

Riel’s expression momentarily darkened as she went from being a guardian of four children to becoming the director of a daycare center.

– Look at that, the tree is broken.

– Poor thing.

– Let’s fix it.

– There, the flower is dead too.

– I’ll fill the soil!

– Mom told us to take good care of the flower garden.

– I’ll give it water!

The fortunate thing was that the lower spirits had a clear goal.

Perhaps worried that chaos would ensue if the lower spirits ran wild without a goal, the Spirit Kings seemed to have given them prior notice about the flower garden.

Watching the scene, Se-un came up with an idea.

“Riel.”

“Yes…”

“How about having your spirits command those lower spirits?”

“Wouldn’t that be difficult? They may have gotten bigger, but their personalities seem to be the same.”

“That’s why. They say a position makes a person, right? If they command the lower spirits, wouldn’t they feel a sense of responsibility?”

“Ah, that’s definitely true. That’s a good idea.”

From educating the spirits to managing the lower spirits, it was a way to kill two birds with one stone, so after a moment of contemplation, Riel nodded with a determined look.

Then, she immediately called the spirits and expressed her opinion with a serious expression.

Fortunately, the spirits’ reactions were positive.

– Wow, great!

– Then I’ll be a senior?

– Senior? Am I a senior too? Wow!

– Good senior! Cool senior!

Things went better than Riel had expected.

The Spirit Realm was a strict hierarchical society.

As soon as the four spirits revealed their power, the spirits scattered throughout the flower garden gathered in an orderly manner according to their attributes.

– I’m a senior!

– Senior!

– From now on, we’re going to take care of the flower garden!

– Yes!

– First, we need to fill the soil and make it healthy. Got it?

– Yes, Senior!

– Good!

Once order was established, the speed at which the lower spirits cultivated the flower garden increased even further.

The four spirits were performing the role of commander much better than Se-un and Riel had expected.

Riel, who was about to suffer as the director of a daycare center, could breathe a sigh of relief as she commanded four teachers, or rather, with the help of her four spirits.

“There’s an immediate reaction.”

“Yes?”

“The World Tree.”

“Ah… wow.”

Although they were lower spirits, their power was more than expected.

The Eternal Flower Garden, which had been damaged by the Outer’s attack, was quickly regaining its original appearance.

In particular, the World Tree’s sprout was growing visibly fast, receiving the abundant spirit energy.

Of course, the effect was maximized because it was still a sprout, but at this rate, wouldn’t it be possible to shorten the time even more than Elquines had said?

“I’ll have to protect the flower garden for a while.”

“Yes. At least, the World Tree needs to grow to the point where one of the Spirit Kings can manifest in case of an emergency before we can move.”

“How long do you think it will take?”

“The Spirit Kings weren’t sure either, but maybe a few months at the earliest?”

“I guess so. And it would be better for you to stay here to build up your strength.”

“There’s no place with as much spirit energy as this. My children also need time to grow a lot and get used to their powers, so I think we’ll have to spend quite some time here. What about you?”

“I’ll go up first.”

I gained more than expected in the Eternal Flower Garden.

Beyond the information that the Outer cannot 침식 [corrupt/erode] spirits, I ended up promising support from the entire Spirit Realm.

Although the passage to the Spirit Realm can only be secured when the World Tree grows to a certain extent, and Riel, who can be called the door, must be with me, if I can receive the help of the four Spirit Kings in the battle against the Outer, there will be no more reliable ally than that.

“I’ll go up first. Even if it’s not a contract, I’m going to repay the favor I owe you.”

“I’ll look forward to it.”

“Should I give you some contribution points at least? I don’t have much left because I’ve been gathering information and wandering around, but I have quite a bit left from wandering around the trials.”

“It’s okay. I have a lot of contribution points too, so repay me properly later.”

“That’s a shame. I was trying to ease some of the burden.”

“You shouldn’t ease it with something like this.”

“I’m just kidding, just kidding.”

With this, Se-un’s work was done.

I was about to turn around without wasting any time when I thought of an idea that could help promote the growth of the World Tree.

“Can I borrow your staff for a moment?”

“Yes? Why the staff?”

“I have a good idea. It’ll only take a moment.”

“Well, okay. I’ll lend it to you because it’s you, but please handle it with care.”

Riel handed over her staff.

A branch of Yggdrasil [the World Tree of Norse mythology].

It was the weapon she had acquired as a reward from the tutorial, and it was the weapon Se-un had enchanted with the superior spirit magic ‘Wind of Origin’ in Jeheton.

‘This should be enough to withstand it.’

It’s a staff made from a branch of the World Tree.

Riel had repeatedly asked me to handle it with care, but with a staff like this, it wouldn’t be damaged unless I was fighting a 검사 [swordsman] head-on.

Believing in its sturdy durability, Se-un manifested the 권능 [divine authority/power] of Greed.

– The Treasure Warehouse of Greed has been opened.

[ Refreshing Spring, Easter ]

– A staff said to have been made by Eostre [Germanic goddess of spring], known as the goddess of spring who presides over life, childbirth, and dawn, by weaving the first branches and petals of spring.

Various flowers bloomed from the end of Riel’s staff.

Green sprouts sprouted near the pillar, and the original bright brown color was dyed blue like freshly sprouted sprouts.

“A branch of Yggdrasil…”

Just as Riel was about to reach out in surprise, Se-un forcefully planted the staff imbued with Easter’s power into the ground before her.

Then, roots grew like a living tree from the connection between the staff and the earth.

– The branch of Yggdrasil unleashes the spring energy dormant in ‘Easter.’

– Through ‘Easter,’ the dawn of the spring equinox is recreated.

Purple flowers bloomed on top of the staff. Then, the petals burst out like an explosion, covering the sky.

For a moment, the sunlight passed through the translucent purple petals, dyeing the flower garden dimly like dawn.

“Beautiful…”

– Wow, pretty!

– What, what?

– It got dark!

– Amazing, why is it getting dark?

The lower spirits jumped around as if they were amazed.

Seeing their reaction, I wondered if the concept of day and night existed in the Spirit Realm.

The petals that had adorned the sky soon fluttered and fell to the ground.

Swish-

As soon as they touched the ground, they caused another change.

Dew formed on the Eternal Flowers that were withering from providing power to the World Tree, and they regained their original vivid appearance.

New Eternal Flowers bloomed in the place where the trampled Eternal Flowers that the spirits were rebuilding had been.

Above all, the World Tree’s sprout was swaying happily as if it was pleased, growing noticeably.

“How did you do that?”

“It will probably continue to be maintained until its power runs out. If possible, take it out then.”

“Yes, thank you! Really.”

“There won’t be anything wrong with the staff. …Maybe.”

“Yes?”

“I’m going first.”

“Yes? No, wait. You just said maybe.”

“See you next time.”

Before Se-un turned his back, he could see Riel standing in front of the staff, looking flustered.

She was worried, wondering if she should take out the staff right away, but she couldn’t touch it rashly because Se-un’s words bothered her, fearing that something might go wrong if she took it out in the middle.

‘It’ll withstand it.’

Whether or not, Se-un completely turned his back, thinking that the branch of the World Tree couldn’t withstand just this much.

With satisfactory results, it was now time to finish the 65th floor’s trial.
